Aristotle thinks that good tragedy is when you reach the highest level as a human being can reach and in one moment everything falls down. Good tragedy for oristatle is a lost of everything man have gained.
There is no evidence that Shakespeare had ever heard of Aristotle's Poetics and considerable evidence that he had not. The evidence that he had not is that virtually none of his tragedies pay attention to Aristotle's strictures on what tragedy should be about. For example, King Lear changes from an autocrat, to a madman, to someone who is serenely centred to someone who is shattered by grief. Consider what Aristotle thought were essential to tragic heroes--that they be good (is Lear's treatment of Cordelia and Kent good?), appropriate (is the spectacle of a king stripping himself naked and acting like a child appropriate?), and consistent. King Lear is none of these, and particularly not consistent. The Shakespearean tragic hero who most complies with Aristotle's ideas is Timon in Timon of Athens; the one who least complies is Hamlet. Thank heaven Shakespeare knew nothing of Aristotle.
The play Romeo and Juliet is a good example of a love tragedy because the main characters kill themselves because of the misunderstanding caused between them which misleads them to think that they are separated.
The word Tragedy means "goat song" as often in early Greek Theatre a goat was sacrificed to the God of fertility, wine & harvest, Dionysus. Tragedies were written as a trilogy linking theme, characters & plot. Aristotle created the 5 rules of tragedy that still apply today. A tragedy is a moralistic story of what happens when man comes in conflict with the "Gods" or when man does not follow the laws of the Gods, then bad things will follow. They were designed so that the audience could have a "catharsis or spiritual purge", or a real good cry and inspire the people to live a better life.

It is impossible to answer you question in a line or two. Aristotle wrote a whole book (his Poetics) as he tried to define tragedy. See if you can find a condensed version - you could try looking on t he Internet for 'Aristotle's definition of tragedy' or 'Aristotle's Poetics'. Good luck!
Aristotle's theory of drama, outlined in his work "Poetics," emphasizes the concept of catharsis, or the purging of emotions through pity and fear experienced by the audience. He also discusses the importance of plot, character, and diction in creating a successful tragedy. Aristotle believed that a good tragedy should evoke feelings of pity and fear in the audience, leading to a sense of emotional release.

Aristotle (I think from the Nicomachean Ethics)

Aristotle believed that the hero of a tragedy should possess a mix of good and bad qualities to make them relatable and evoke a sense of catharsis in the audience. A hero who is too good may lack depth and realism, while a hero who is completely bad may fail to elicit sympathy or emotional investment from the audience. Striking a balance allows for a more nuanced and engaging character arc.
Aristotle states that the highest good is happiness when we ask what it is.
